MSI Intros 760GTM-P33 Motherboard
MSI launched a new AMD AM2+ socket micro-ATX motherboard targeting the value and SME markets. The 760GTM-P33 is based on the AMD 760G + SB710 chipset, and supports DDR2 memory from two DIMM slots. It extends compatibility to AM3-socket processors along the way. The CPU is powered by a 4+1 phase circuit, with support for MSI's APS (active phase switching) feature. The SB710 chipset connects to six SATA II ports internally, and one standard IDE connector. The 760G chipset embeds an ATI Radeon HD 3200 class IGP, with slightly lower clock speeds and higher energy efficiency compared to the 780G. Display connectivity includes DVI and D-Sub ports. 8-channel audio, and gigabit connectors, a PCI-E x16, x1, and two PCI slots make for the rest of the package. The MSI 760GTM-P33 will arrive at stores soon, at an expected price under $100.

i dont see why they do this, these boards are best for HTPC use, and native HDMI is worth the money there since this onboard has HDMI audio.
Now, what would have been nice is for my Atom330 Mini-ITX board to have DVI.
HDMI is backward compatible to DVI, but the reverse is more complicated when it comes to audio (needing special adaptors)
But, I understand what you're saying. Personally, I will never care for HDMI, because I will always have an outstanding speaker system. I mean who uses their TV's built-in speakers anyway?
USE wise, the only reason to use it is for the audio :) (oh, or the really really long cables... i use a 5M one, its awesome. PC no longer needs to be near teh screen)
